“My ceramic work plays upon traditional pottery forms that transcend function while embracing it. Divided between utilitarian pottery and glorified, functional vessels, both intentions share similar sensibilities and handling of the clay. Information and ideas from one intention feeds the other. My utilitarian pottery is elegantly or whimsically designed to perform with ease and delight to make the everyday occasion a special, pleasurable experience. The glorified vessels are based upon functional vessels but abandon utilitarian concerns for a more sculptural approach to form, surface embellishment, and presentation.”
